I truly don’t know what to say. The production quality of this is so high - easily one of the best looking Trainz videos I’ve ever seen. I’m very honoured that you chose a story of mine to turn into such a high quality production. BRAVO!
There's something about how simple yet unsettling the usage of minimal lighting is. For example, the lighting is often focused on Rheneas' terrified expressions while the ghost engine is being silhouetted only by the moon- like a dramatic spotlight. Not to mention, the slowed-down music at the end added a somber layer to an already spooktly story. This video needs more views.
Best adaption of this story, hands down. The directing/lighting is perfect to how i imagine this visually as an episode in the show, and the fog effects are just haunting as hell. This moment is the money shot 3:25 the ghost vanishing on the bridge before Rheneas can catch up..... chills at every moment, wow!. Well done man.
I love the use of the Reading T1 Banshee/Hooter as the ghost's whistle. It's kinda silly to hear it coming from a little engine like that though, considering they were most famously used on massive 4-8-4s. Amazing work!
Holy hell, that was frightening! I couldn't tear my eyes away the entire time. The ghost engine was downright terrifying! The pale eyeless frightened face and the whistle just made character whose existence was ambiguous (at best) all the more memorable. And the background music just enhanced the tense and scary atmosphere for the whole experience.
The POV and the frontal shots of Rheneas and the ghost engine are eerie and the face of the ghost that can be slightly seen in some shots is, dare I say, more creepy than Timothy the Ghost Engine's face!
Your "compliment" is extremely rude, ik you meant something along the lines of "a small channel has a high production value" and not saying "this is too good to come from a small channel, who actually made this". Do better.
no clue how you managed to spin a compliment where im saying the quality of the video is incredibly high and they deserve way more views, subs etc into something bad, well done you
This is my favourite version! The lighting and atmosphere are perfect, the face of the ghost is chilling and I can hear all the narration over the music and other audio (unlike other adaptations)
Hi! The majority of the lighting used in this video was from dryitelad on Twitter. He has a whole lighting folder specifically for recreating different lighting atmospheres from the model series. I used his season 5 lighting for the day shots and improvised the night lighting. I'll try to find the original link with the folder! Edit: Found it! twitter.com/dryitelad/status/1700977671470223738?t=IZdd87FPS1JgPMOHnELHDA&s=19
This was absolutely phenomenal! The use of some songs from EATEOT fit surprisingly well for creepy fan stories like these. The use of "Glimpses of hope in trying times" during the build-up to Rheneas's encounter is wonderful, heck even using "Misplaced in time" as the outro was awesome! Also the use of that Reading Hooter from Cass really accentuated the "lost soul" vibe I get from that ghost. Wonderful work!
Truly phenomenal how you utilized a story remaked time and time again and managed to make your own spin of it! I love the use of lighting in this video as it leave the viewer’s imagination with certain shots, along with the slowed down music adding a bit of a sense of existential dread/horror as the ghost isn’t malicious in any way but doomed to repeat the actions that led to him to his demise in order to warn others of the dangers that led ahead.To warn others before they met the same fate as him.(As for all we know) Forever in a state of repetition with no solution in sight to revoke him from his new existence forever trying to cross that bridge but never making it on the other side, forever to be damned for actions that could have been not of his fault or a mistake, all because of a simple mistake of not looking at the rails before making through the passage, truly a sad fate
I did this story in my second series of my own Thomas series, and I thought the version we did was good, but honest to god literally this feels like the offical TV adaptation of the story, very well buddy and also having worked with PieceofJakeyVA in my series a few years ago so honestly amazing job 🤩🤩
This is amazing dude, it feels like the conclusion to *Duncan gets spooked* and I loved this, it feels so classic Thomas and it’s something that I enjoyed :)
Monument Mythos, and internet horror in general, were definitely huge inspirations for this project. However, most of the music used was actually from Everywhere At The End Of Time and An Empty Bliss Beyond This World by The Caretaker. Highly recommend listening to both albums! The Caretaker's channel is linked in the description.
@@lowcamakesstuff There's a user called @BeyondTheMask his previous intro music fascinated me too, I was wondering if you knew the name of it? The video is called 'This Stu Macher and Gale Weathers deleted scene just changed scream.
@@lowcamakesstuff Damn. I just looked those up and I am floored. Whoever would have thought a series of children’s books about talking trains written by a British reverend would go on to inspire things like THIS.

DUDE. OH MY GOD. THIS COMMENT MADE MY DAY. THANKS MIKE!!
You did a great job Mike!
You had every opportunity to do a jump scare there, and make me spill my ice cream.
I applaud the restraint.
Never any particularly scary shots of the face either. It’s like there being nothing makes it scarier
No, mean he had every opportunity to do a jump scare, and didn't.
What kind of ice cream is it?
Vanilla with chocolate sauce.
@@harwickbranch
You can just barely make it out as the steam and mist clip through the model. Chilling.

I would venture to guess that the facial expression of the ghost is the one he had when met his fate and is forever frozen on him.
On top of that. You see the indents where the eyes and mouth were and it’s just.. oh my.
That final shot is just icing on the cake that is this masterpiece. Well done!
This might just be some of the best lighting I've ever seen in a Trainz video, major props to you!
jeez this is way too high quality for such a small channel, well done indeed

it is also the exact same compliment many others have said but i dont see you complain in their comments
@@IndianaNorthWesternyou sound like a Karen lol

I love the use of vintage music ❤️
I wonder if BrokenWall took inspiration from the Monument Mythos in that sense.
Do you know what the song at the end is
@@flyinggordonproductions4875 Lullaby of the Leaves
@@flyinggordonproductions4875 Misplaced in time by The Caretaker
what the fuck did you make me do this has completely subverted my expectations
No Swearing 😡
.....holy hell.....that was...creepy, but brilliant, very nicely done
OH MY GOD. THE LIGHTING. I'm serious when i say i would greatly appreciate your tips on how to accomplish lighting like that. Amazing job!

This is the best adaptation of Old Haunts I’ve ever seen goodness
The whistle sounded like that of reading 1187 by K&L Trainz.
Peter Sam and rusty are going regret telling Duncan about that story
What an amazing video! The effects were spot on. And it was amazing to see the truth about the legend behind the ghost train of the SKR!
Carson video workshop got to start taking notes 🎉🎉
I like how you used the Reading Hooter for the Ghost's Whistle
Welp. I just shat myself
It wasn't so scary.
You aren’t alone in this 😂
Great adaption of a great story. I agree with the others about lighting and mist, very atmospheric and very creepy. Subscribed.
This is very scenic- its beautiful, you did a great job making this! The quality is great!
Your adaption of Old Haunts is amazing. Good work.
You have a really good voice for ominous storytelling. This is excellent vocal work to go with a great story.
That was amazing! Some of the shots looked like there were taken straight out of season 5!
W-W-WAIT A MINUTE, RUSTY THE RELIABLE ODD-JOB NARROW-GAUGE DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE HIMSELF CERTAINLY WAS BEIN' QUITE INSANELY SERIOUSLY SERIOUS!!!!

That engines face will haunt me
This is one of the most beautiful trainz videos I've ever seen, fantastic job
So Rusty's Ghost Story is true
Holy Jesus Christ that’s amazing
This is a great piece of work. The use of the EATOT music fits so well with the ghost engine, like if it was just a burning memory.
This is The Really Splendid Amazing Spooked Story Ever That Ghost Engine Really Scared Me We'll Done BorkenWall and Good Job Indeed Keep It Up 😊👏🏻 ❤
???:GO BACK RHENEAS PLEASE ITS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY
That whistle gave me chills. Well done!

That last song was creepy af
This is amazing dude, it feels like the conclusion to *Duncan gets spooked* and I loved this, it feels so classic Thomas and it’s something that I enjoyed :)
The animation was on another level great job
Amazing work
I believe in Rusty's ghost story. My guess, it's gotta be Proteus! I'm sure of it.
9:24 love the music, sounds like 1930s german music.
It sounds like Monument Mythos music to me. But I think a lot of his scores are inspired by music from the ‘30s and ‘40s.
IRONBRIDGEREVELATIONS

Alternative title: watch me make the models in a computer look like real life
Were did you get the ghost whistle audio from?
Because it sounds like a American hooter
Nvm
I wish there was more background of this engine😢 it saved rhen. I’d be interested to see that happen
2:50 did anyone else think the moon was boulder at first?
First Duncan now rheanas
Wow! This was amazing!
This is amazing I give the part whare the ghost fell into the gape is amazing 10/10
Your broken wall can you give me the music in The this scene 5:09
Why was the reading banshee whistle use
I think it sounds very eerie
Well done!
Doesn’t that ghost engine have a name
No one knows it's name, whether it existed or if there is even a ghost on the bridge.
Where is second is it is it after like Duncan got spook?
More of this
9:17 where's that music from?
機関車アンドルフおじさーん！
What is the music that beigns at 2:52? and 5:09
